Best entry level AR15?

[BULLBLASTER]

$225 for a stripped lower is highway robbery. The past one i bought was $60 out the door after tax.

Piece it together, save a ton.

Or just buy this, I'm sure it'd fulfill 99% of your needs.

That’s the cheapest AR that I’ve seen anywhere.  Thanks for that link.

If don't want to build I picked up a DPMS for under $700.  I like mine.

You are welcome.  I have a cheap one that I put together with a composite lower and a cheap DPMS upper, have $490 into the whole she-bang.  If you get parts sent to Sound Loan and Pawn in Everett, the guy there is super nice and only charges $15 for rifle transfers (and the tax hes obligated to collect).  I use that cheap setup almost all of the time, even though I have some real tack driver ARs.  It weighs next to nothing, I'm not afraid to hurt it (but so far I've tried and cant) and it still shoots about 1.5" groups at 100 yards and is my favorite Coyote/Cougar hiking weapon.

My $1800 24" bull barrel ar, with super nice two stage trigger etc sits right in the safe where I'm afraid to touch it.  I don't need to drive tacks, I need to shoot coyotes on the run.   

Unless you're doing competition, I don't see any reason why you'd do anything else, unless you just want to impress your friends or prep for the apocalypse.

Thanks for the offers from those that offered to help locate reasonable priced parts But I bought the bullet and purchased factory built Stag Model 4 at a considerable saving even over stag prices. Just have to wait for it to get here from out of state, Zero Tax, Zero Hassle

I think if you built your own you could get a good quality trigger and barrel and go cheeper on the rest. $1K will get you a bunch right now...  Ask Loki How his built went he did a budget build here recently...

 

I think I stayed under $600 (adding in the additional cost of the gift of a stock and LPK that Captain Silver generouslyaffered me)  I've got a Green Mountain Barrel and a (hopefully) high end BCG.  A higher end trigger would add a couple hundred to this but would still be under your 1K and you get the fun of putting it together.  I am quite happy with the feel of my Stag Arms stock trigger, though I am certainly not a "high end" shooter.  Tools for assembly can run about $100, but if you are nice, you might get them loaned to you.

Don't you have to pay tax when you pick it up from the FFL?

[grundy53]

Yes

You will get hit with the tax when you pay the transfer fee at your FFL.

I just got into the AR game myself. I was looking at building one, but I have too many projects going now, along with a newborn for the wife to give me the ok. I managed to get my hands on a Mossberg MMR hunter in 223. Paid like 725 after it was all said and done. Got a 3x9x40 on it for it along with 600 rounds of ammo for under 1000. Haven't had the chance to take it out yet, but so far I am super pleased with it.

I've got a New Frontier plastic complete lower on my 204. I paid $110 for it. Plum Crazy plastic lowers are pretty good too. That's if you want to save some $$.

Not to be a jerk... but if you haven't taken it out yet, what are you pleased with?
